Activities & Services

For over 35 years, WCMA has kept the wire and cable industry connected and informed, primarily about industry developments, company news, and market conditions.  

Distinguished Career Recognition

The Annual WCMA Distinguished Career Award recognizes outstanding individuals who have significantly contributed to the wire and cable industry and their companies. WCMA Members nominate industry executives and contributors, who are then selected by a Committee of prior recipients and the WCMA Board.

In 2023, WCMA launched the Young Professional Award, which recognizes individuals (ages 40 and under) who are making significant contributions to the wire and cable industry early in their careers. 

WCMA also supports career recognition events hosted by other industry associations.

Industry Education

The WCMA website provides a corporate directory and publishes industry news that does not make mainstream headlines. Keynote speakers present at WCMA events providing economic updates, material developments, and other commercial topics. WCMA also actively promotes educational events hosted by industry collaborators such as Wire Association International, Wire & Cable Suppliers Association, International Wire and Cable and Connectivity Symposium, American Copper Council, and others.

Networking and Fundraising

WCMA produces premier events that bring together owners, executives, and key technical and commercial managers to network, exchange information, and promote the wire and cable industry. Due to association growth, WCMA has increased donations in recent years to support scholarship programs offered by Wire Association International, the International Wire & Cable Symposium, and the American Copper Council.
